So today Sara and I exchanged Christmas presents after dinner at Chi Tung. Great times were had, and I received a sweet travel mug that talks and is mildly creepy. At the restaurant, I literally had a good six cups of tea, good times, and got the vegetable maki, which was delicious. Also, our waitress gave us a free box of tea, so I am super psyched about that (hey, maybe I can put it in my travel mug!). Also, my brother has NINE people staying overnight tonight. NINE. And I have to go pick up my sister and some of friends from the bar. Rad.

Anyway, I got this book of Banksy's art called Wall and Piece. It is seriously so amazing. In addition to his art, which is renagade, thought provoking, and generally kicks ass, he has so many interesting/insightful things to say. One thing that stuck with me was "A lot of people never use their initiative because nobody told them to," and that is hands down, the most honest thing I have heard in some time. I don't know that much about how the world works, but something I do know is that, no one's going to do it for you, whether "it" is writing a book, joining a band, making a friend, standing up for something, making history, or making a sandwich, you have to be willing and excited to do things for yourself. This is me telling you to use your initiative. This is me telling myself to use my initiative. So go out and make history, or just go and make yourself that sandwich, but do it on your own, on your own terms. Now enough of me running my mouth, enjoy some Banksy.
